I hope you guys are all alright man. So I feel bad making a joke about this "Are they supposed to shoot electricity directly to people’s houses through the air? ". Think that would be solar panels and batteries, sending excess back to the grid. So long as the roof was still there, the panels would be there for those houses hopefully. Then you can at least go to some of the houses in the neighborhood that have power when it gets to hot or to get a warm shower.
The future may hold neighborhoods having a local grid between their houses, so they can supply each other, and then send excess back to the main grid. Could effectivley keep large area power outages from being an issue, especially in natural disasters.
You bring up a really good point. This has told me it’s about damn time that I quit putting off getting solar on my place. I’ve put it off because I’ve got everything except the house paid off and didn’t want to take on more debt. But I’m just super lucky that my neighborhood is fine and I personally didn’t lose electricity for long at all. I actually didn’t know how bad it was until last night.
Me and mine are good. I’ve got friends and their kids who have no electricity set up in my extra bedroom and in the living room. They’re staying until they get electricity back.
I appreciate the well wishes. Don’t feel bad about the joke at all because it’s pretty solid and had a helpful side effect.
